BESM d20

[Tclynch]

Did GOO ever reprint the Revised d20 BESM? I'm curious as I bought the revised only to discover it was the same as the 1st edition with the Mecha rules thrown in. I believe that the problem was the revised files were not sent to the printer.
I see the errata is available to make the "Revised" book truely Revised, but were they ever printed?

Yes, the truly revised version has a big "3.5" down in the corner of the cover.

Whew. . . I'm glad I opted for BESM 3e instead of the BESM d20 copy at the FLGS

The upside is that you didn't get BESM d20.

The downside is that you still got BESM 3e.

Actually, 3e looks like a vast improvement over 2e (save for the wonky Comic Sans font used thorughout). It appears to be much better organized, more modular, and offers a short official setting somewhat reminisicent of the setting excerpt in the D&D Rules Cyclopedia where presentation is concerned. As somebody said in IRC chat last night "It's like GURPS with less complexity now" (they meant that in a bad way, but as far as I'm concerned, that's all good).
